The lake finally opened up out this way earlier this week.  This morning I
was surprised to see the ice had blown back in and the lake was again about
95% ice-covered.  The shifting ice however got birds moving and there was a
real nice movement of waterfowl.  Birds of note were 4 white-winged scoters
and glaucous gull.
